Astounding really... but also unintentional on the part of BBC I am sure
Shows you how much more work we have to do at national level to avoid such mistakes
Let’s pick this up at March 15th meeting on bias
"Imposter syndrome never goes away" ... from one of the world's most powerful women. @medicalwomenuk need to recognise how common this is and not let it hold us back
BBC News - Michelle Obama: 'I still have imposter syndrome'

"Until flexible working becomes the norm for men too, we’ll struggle to achieve equality in the workplace"
Institutional support of flexible working patterns is a crucial step in supporting the progress of #medicalwomen to senior clinical and management roles. Thanks @FlexNHS @medicalwomenuk @MedWIA for promoting this.

The law is (mostly) on our side so what’s the problem? We’ll only be truly equal when we think & act equal & speak out on big issues @medicalwomenuk @MedWIA @youngMWIA @AFMWorgau @FMWCanada @AMWADoctors @Mwanigeria @fawcettsociety fawcettsociety.org.uk/gender…
The history of women in medicine and the contributions they made in the face of adversity is humbling
When Dr Elsie Inglis asked the War Office if female doctors & surgeons could serve in front-line hospitals in #WW1 she was told "my good lady, go home and sit still".
She formed the Scottish Women's Hospitals and 1500 women provided voluntary medical care to the sick & wounded

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Gender pay gap in medicine... astonishing in this day and age
Today is #EqualPayDay - the day of the year that women stop earning relative to men. @MunchkinDr outlines what the #MedPayGap means for her, and what @paygapsmedics are doing about it bma.org.uk/connecting-doctor…
